[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Olympics are a reward for people who waste their lives in these marginal sports. Pushing more kids into them would detract from their lives. [/quote] This. The Olympics rewards rich people who make their kid specialize in a rich people sport and give up their childhood at age 7. [/quote] So why are so many Olympic champions in judo, taekwondo, shot put, discus, ping ping, badminton, etc so not rich. I get what you are saying for fencing or crew which are traditionally “country club” sports…but most olympians aren’t rich.[/quote]
